The IBM EMAC programs its Maximum Jumbo Size (MJS) drop
threshold from ndev->mtu directly. The hardware sizes the threshold
against the L2 frame minus the ethernet header, but does not
discount the 802.1Q tag, so a frame carrying a VLAN tag and a full
1500-byte payload exceeds MJS by exactly 4 bytes and is dropped.

This is normally hidden because JPSM (and therefore the MJS check)
only engages when the MTU is raised above ETH_DATA_LEN.  With the
qca8k DSA tagger the conduit MTU is bumped by QCA_HDR_LEN to 1502
during dsa_conduit_setup(), which is enough to enable JPSM and
expose the off-by-VLAN-tag in the limit.

Pad MJS by VLAN_HLEN so a VLAN-tagged full-MTU frame passes.

Reported on Meraki MX60 (qca8k switch): tagged VLAN
traffic drops at 1500-byte payload, while 1496 bytes works
and untagged 1500 bytes works.
